As all Black Crowes fans know, the band is at its best when playing in front of a live audience, so when they announced the release of a live album (recorded in March, 2008 at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre) it was a happy day for all Crowes fans. Still giddy from the release of their amazing, and highly acclaimed comeback album, “Warpaint” – one of their best albums of any era – fans were thrilled to hear that their one night only L.A. concert would be committed to plastic. For all fans who missed the chance to see them on their recent tour, this is as good as it gets. The Crowes play through “Warpaint” in its entirety, jamming out on “Oh Josephine” in the best southern blues tradition, and giving all the songs that Crowes live-stage energy. They also dig into their vaults to unleash a few classic Crowes tracks from their early day, like the poignant “Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye”, as well as some choice covers, like “Poor Elijah”. If you, like many Crowes fans, had any doubts over recent line-up changes, this release should make you a believer again! This is hard Southern raunch at its finest! Halleluia, the Crowes are back!
